Has a CLE pitcher faced a Blue Jay twice? Francona switching it up so Jays don't see the same guy twice this game.

Stroman pretty amped up, and making mistakes because of it. He's supposed to be a low ball ground ball pitcher but leaving too many too high.

Decent enough outing form Stroman. Time for the bats to defy all odds against the big guns in Clevelands pen.

They needed to get the lead bottom of the fifth...and now Indians have not trailed for how many innings?

Not bad from Stroman. Time for Biagini to kill it.

Hard to blame Stroman when he can't make any mistake and the Jays big bats can't do anything against the same mistake time after time. Just an absolute choke from the big bats.

I want to agree with your optimism but nothing the Jays have shown all series has given me any hope. It feels like September. This isn't a one or two game slump. This is a 45 day slump with 4 good games in the middle.

But the ability of any team to string 3 hits within 3 outs 3 consecutive times is even less. Hitting for power is better than small ball. This is proven.

There failure this series is there failure to hit poor pitching, the pitches have been there. They also aren't being selective and generating the walks they need to.

Pitchers have done their jobs, position players choking big time.
